Framed, Frameless and Insert
One of the first choices you need to make concerns the construction of your cabinet. Choose from framed, frameless and insert:
|
Framed
In this traditional cabinet, the doors attach to face frames, which are composed of a horizontal rail and vertical stile.
|
Frameless
Featuring the clean lines of European construction, hinges are secured to the cabinet’s interior and the doors overlay the entire
box, providing a symmetrical appearance that reveals only the doors. Expect slightly easier access.
|
Inset
With inset construction, the cabinet door is recessed so that it lays flush with the face frame. Choose from exposed or concealed hinges.

Door Styles
Once you’ve chosen the box construction, it’s time to look to the door. Your three general groupings for door style are raised panel, recessed panel and contemporary:
 |
Raised Panel
Add dimension to your design with these doors, which feature a protruding center panel. While raised panel doors make an excellent choice for traditional kitchens, stylish and simple designs are available as well.
|
|
|
 |
Recessed Panel
Add depth with these sunken center panels, which can be outlined with simple profiles or more elaborate treatments.
|
|
|
 |
Contemporary
Also known as slab, the flat appearance of these doors contributes to the sleek look of contemporary kitchens.

Wood Species
Now that you’ve chosen the form, it’s time to select a wood species.
|
Hardwoods
North American hardwood species are valued for their natural warmth, versatility and beauty. Choose from a number of species, including:
Maple: A stiff, strong, heavy wood with a tight, uniform grain pattern and a smooth surface. Expect burled grain, pin knots and caramelizing.
Cherry: Moderate in hardness, weight and strength, this rich wood has a fine to medium grain pattern and a relatively smooth surface.
Alder: An increasingly popular choice, this light-colored wood is an excellent choice for rustic and country kitchens.
Hickory: Very heavy, hard and dense, hickory offers a bold, prominent grain pattern, burls and knots.
|
 |
|
|
Oak: A dense, heavy wood that is very hard, red oak’s durability, open grain pattern and textured surface make it a classic choice for kitchens.
Rustic Pine: Relatively light, this soft wood has a fairly tight grain pattern with a relatively smooth surface.
